Thread: My 10 minute War with a Master Fencer...
Interesting story.
You used Last ditch, Force of Will, Intimidation .... (Smuggler/TKA/Brawler) ... then started Health Bleeds/KD's, which you quickly gave up ...so that you could continue with .... Last Ditch.
Did you use any pistoleer skills at all? Also, as some other people have said, all it takes is one stim B to wipe away all of your hard work.Oh, and what kind of stun baton/specials was he using against you that you were able to last as long as you did? Did he use any bleeds, knockdowns, etc.? Was he even trying to hurt you? LoL

You think that just because I didn't use fan shot or stopping shot that I used no Pistoleer skills? How about Dodge, Pistol speed 74, accuracy, Defense vs KD, ranged and melee defenses. How about the cert needed for the Geo Pistol. You obviously didnt read any of what I wrote earlier about how pistols work with other professions. Last DItch is nothing without Pistols.
You can try to question my bro's weaps all you want but he has very good ones. I will have to check when I get home from work for the specifics. But to reiterate, I was hit with blind mind poison and I was postured and kd a few times and intimidated.Thefact is I was prepared with foods and spices andproper armor. And if you would have read earlier you would have seen my comments about meds. Anyone who gets novice medic for stim b's will do so at a much greater expense to skills used in another areas.
Again, I think pistols need help, but the continual whinningthat we are no good at all when I know in fact that we can at least last a very long time against tough opponents is just a bunch of junk. If you are dieing in less than a minute then you simply are not prepared.
BTW my prenurf dx2 acid pistol seemed to do a fair amount of damage last night. We need to keep testing and see what we can do with pistols..

there is practically no diff in between LD and SS btw, my friend and I did some tests and found out that the dps was pretty much the same which was kinda sad actually. but PS, LB, and FD are all good skills to have i guess.

No you wouldn't, i'm a master fencer, and i beat a bh pistoleer very easily, they have no melee mitigation. All thats required for these fights is a decent stun helm as most will spam eyeshot. We were both buffed and i incapped him very quickly, his eyeshots didnt make much of a dent on my mind.
While I agree that this was a good story, it seems that you used pistoleer as your secondary profession and used its passive traits to help you.
